Mohammad Akraminia, spokesman for the Islamic Republic's army, said on Sunday, November 1, that a possible future war could be several times longer than the previous 40-day war, and that US President Donald Trump will not be able to determine the timing and conditions of its end on his own. In a radio program, referring to the change in the Islamic Republic's military doctrine from a purely defensive to an offensive approach, Akraminia said this process had begun in the past and also became practical in the recent war. He also said that in the event of a new conflict, American facilities, equipment, forces, and interests can be targeted at any point accessible to the forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The army spokesman added that the scope of the Islamic Republic's possible response will not necessarily be limited to the geographical scope of past conflicts.
